In case you missed it, some frustrated residents in the Clinton Park neighborhood of San Francisco chipped in a few hundred bucks each to purchase giant boulders to keep homeless people off their street (“anti-homeless architecture,” as it’s called). Boulders that the city of San Francisco aren’t going to remove.
Well, BB friend Danielle Baskin, who lives on that small street, thinks the rocks are “barbaric,” so she did something about it.
Some neighbors pooled together $2000 to dump 24 boulders into the sidewalk as a form of “anti-homeless decoration”.
The city won’t remove them, so I put their rocks on the Craigslist free section.
The post was flagged and removed, of course. But she didn’t stop there. She then tried to sell the rocks for $5 each and that post was also flagged and removed.
The boulders belong in parks & gardens, not intercepting people trying to go about their day. pic.twitter.com/FEcMV9fgyb

“Can I leave my other boulders here?”
This person is either playing along or also hates sidewalks.
I’m asking him if I can borrow his truck. pic.twitter.com/H0wb5yfUSn

In another variation on my Craigslist post, I tried to sell the boulders for $5/each.
Then I‘d give away the money to people sleeping nearby.

The latest? On Friday night, the boulders were pushed into the street!
